  • There is a python library as well. But the core algorithm and the plugins are in rust. The GIS component also is computationally intensive or memory intensive, that makes Rust have advantages over python. And the Whitehouse is also talking about more memory safe languages so it seems like a good choice to do it in rust over c/c++ for computational parts and the plugin architecture.

    Edit: As for professors. I need external professor for my committee, and this is a good option as I’m not familiar with any CS professors in my university that do grad research.







  • Well according to a doctor, since lot of people are not talking vaccine now, polio is coming back and the government has added polio vaccine as one of the requirements last year for people. I had to take adult polio vaccine because I didn’t have records that I took it as a child (which I didn’t think would need because it was compulsory for children when I was little).

    That’s not how tax brackets should work. But sadly for last year’s state tax I came across it. [Example numbers] Previously I had 24,200 annual salary but zero tax as it was below 25,000. Even though personal deductions are 10,000, below 25 was considered too low to tax. This year, due to a mistake from employers I was paid for two weeks retroactively, now I have 25,300. Instead of taxing 300 above 25,000 the tax was for 15,300 after deduction. So I had to pay taxes which decreased the money below 25,000 which should not happen if income below 25,000 pays no tax.

    And considering there might be things like not qualifying for financial assistance and other things when you cross 25,000 (again example numbers), the actual benefit of making slightly below that, is higher than making slightly above that…

    So the system is putting a resistance to overcome poverty. Either you start making double of what you are making, or stay on your lane. Because trying to improve your situation by only a little is harmful.


  • That’s another reason US tax system baffles me. Why does it make it so that workers have to pay taxes this way. In my country, salary have very small tax and it’s cut before the money comes into your account at all. So whatever money you egt is yours, there is no feeling of paying taxes at all. While employers will pay taxes and the taxes on profit is a lot more than tax on salary.

    I personally think there’s not much point of tax on the salary, they’ll be spending it on other things, and whoever makes profit on that will pay the taxes on their profit. e.g. you get salary no tax, you buy clothes, vehicle, prepared food, etc. and those companies get your money, and they pay tax on profit, and then have expenses which is money that goes to other companies/people who again pay tax on profit, and their expenses goes somewhere else. All in the money is only taxed once, when there is profit. Unlike in every transaction.
